Review of Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return (2014) by Jacob — 25 May 2015
Surprisingly Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return got a theatrical release. Nothing in the film’s quality suggests that it would’ve gotten anything above a direct to DVD/Netflix release. The film is lazy.
The story fails to provide any interesting take or insight on an Oz adventure consisting of elements from superior and more engaging films like the classic The Wizard of Oz, the not as well known Return to Oz and even Oz the Great and Powerful.
The film borders on obnoxiousness at times with some terrible puns and songs that range from bland and forgettable to ear crashing. It never reaches a level of unpleasantness but there’s no point to seeing it.
The trio is annoying with their new gifts are useless until the plot needs them and most of the new characters range from eh as they lack anything interesting and/or usefulness. The animation isn’t terrible with some character models and backgrounds looking nice but at times the whole thing is cheap.
Put this on for the kiddies but otherwise skip it.
